Mrparsnip:

Your understanding is correct. As the Original Post says:

Spoiler:

Application Functions and Features:

[1] Consolidate a snapshot of all of the standard and custom column metadata for all of your Calibre Libraries into a temporary CALM Target Library.

[2] View the consolidated metadata of all of your books from all of your Calibre Libraries simultaneously;

[3] Standardize Tags, Genres, Identifiers and most Custom Columns centrally in the snapshot CALM Target Library using CALM's Metadata Tools;

[4] Propagate the standardized Tags, Genres, Identifiers and most Custom Columns from the snapshot CALM Target Library back to the 'real' Source Libraries.

All books with the identical Series should, in my opinion, be stored in the identical Source Library. Hence, their maintenance should be performed directly within their Source Library, and not within the consolidated snapshot CALM Target Library.
